Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
James Suckling 92 Points | Dried roses, cranberries, licorice and lemon rind on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied, elegant and vibrant palate. Very sleek tannins. Vegan. Drink now or hold.
The Wine Advocate 90 Points | The Alpha Estate 2022 Amyndeon Xinomavro Hedgehog Single Vineyard reveals a lean appearance and a light garnet color. The bouquet opens to ripe aromas of strawberry jam and raspberry tart. These give the wine a very simple or basic character that does eventually develop in the glass to show background tones of sweet spice, rust and pressed rose. If you can get beyond that initial hint of over-ripeness, this wine delivers a pretty drinking style to pair with appetizers or simple meat dishes. This estate demonstrates special care in its use of oak, and this wine matures in French barrel (medium-grain, light toasting) for 12 months. The Amyndeon appellation sits on a plateau of white rocks, and features big clouds in northwestern Macedonia. This specific site rests at a cool 690 meters in elevation, facing Lake Petron and Mount Voras.

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2019
Decanter 95 Points | Gorgeous aromatics of pot pourri, wild strawberry and red cherry. Vibrant and bright with well-managed tannins, plenty of juicy and crunchy fruit and refreshing acidity. (2019).
Wine & Spirits 92 Points | This has more to it than its super-friendly face initially lets on. Give it some air and flavors emerge from under that bright cherry-red fruit—some of xinomavro’s telltale tomato-leaf and lamb-fat notes, carried on a fine burr of tannins. Inviting and complex. (2019).
James Suckling 92 Points | Pomegranate, wild red berries and flowers on the nose, following through to a juicy, medium-bodied palate with firm, dusty tannins. Very pristine and bright fruit profile, before a juicy, linear finish. (2019).
Robert Parker 90 Points | The 2019 Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard was aged for 12 months in 50% new French barriques. It comes in at 14.02% alcohol. This feels a little delicate in the mid-palate, but it expands in the glass and coats the palate nicely eventually. Silky and bright, it has a fresh feel and a lively demeanor. The tannins are ripe here, not getting in the way too much, even with very young Xinomavro. The freshness is the biggest selling point. The acidity creates a juicy finish with the fruit lifted on the palate. This seems like a pretty nice Hedgehog this year. It should hold another decade or so, give or take. Xinomavro does not die easily.
